EKA's are damn fine knives , but Ben wanted OHO

[Sea Monster]

Does anyone have any thoughts on a Humvee?

(I know they're cheap, but are they good for the money?)

Sweet knives, but like Mike said I am after OHO.

So far, I am keen on the following;

Cold Steel Lawman,
Cold Steel AK-47,
Extrema Ratio BF2TD (Large),
Benchmades (still looking into those, but like the brand on the whole).

[jzmtl]

cs ak47 is a huge knife for its blade size, and very mall ninja one at that.

Then again I don't have any love for cs.

But it is built like a tank and that is what I am after.

[Benner]

Then it is the Griptillian

Those seem like a damn good buy.  TBH I was kinda staying away from Zytel handles as I (probably incorrectly) assumed that Aluminium and G10 handles would be far stronger.

[jzmtl]

I don't think it's actually any stronger than offerings from any other company, especially not compare to some kershaw's with 410 stainless steel handles.

Griptilian have half SS liner and endura have full SS liner.

Upss, sorry, think i overlooked  . The first two are a bit over your price point, but i think they qualify:

NRA gaucho (NRA knives are made by Benchmade)

The Griptilian is one of the most popular folders I've read about. The handles (made from what they call Noryl GTX) is really tough
and like the name suggests is very "grippy" and no one I know has ever broken it, not from heat, cold, chemicals or abuse.

You can get it with the hole or the stud, several steels (like 154CM, D2 and more) and a really fun folder to have (the way you can open it) because of the Axis system. You can also get the Mini-Griptilian too, smaller.

One of the BM kings is the 710 but that's probably to big for you lad!

bottom is my Grip, top the 710;

[Benner]

This is the Griptilian I have been looking at;



It looks pretty solid and I like the fact that it comes with a lifetime warranty.

I do still keep lingering over those CS's though.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Can't see the piccy mate

[WhichDawg]

yeah we can't see it
Ghost Knife?

[Benner]

Can't see the piccy mate

That's better.  

[WhichDawg]

there it is! the 551!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

It's a bit, well plain though

[Benner]

It's a bit, well plain though

That's the whole point. 

[WhichDawg]

you'd luv it Ben, get it! it's tough, smooth, fun, functional.

[Benner]

there it is! the 551!

That it is.  

It's only downside is the Zytel IMO.  But I'm sure that's because I am stuck in the mindset that Zytel will be weaker for some reason.

If I was gonna part with that much wedge for something I can never really take out of the house, it'd better be fancy

All I want is a folder that is as tough as nails, is 3-4" long and that doesn't have a liner lock.  I'm looking for function not appearance.

honestly, it feels cheap, sounds cheap, but it's not! there have been tons of threads about it in BF and others about it.
it is tough, durable, resistant, very "grippy" like the name says.

[WhichDawg]

do this google search (if you want):

griptilian site:bladeforums.com

and you can see all the threads about it.

Hmm, it's a shame you didn't like the  Russlock's as they were bulletproof

Scales looked comparatively fragile though and I'm looking for quite a thick blade.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

But you can get almost any scale type

But for what it's worth you can't really go wrong with a griptillian

[Benner]

Another thing that put me off was the fact that I want a fuller handle.  That's another reason why I like the Griptilian, Lawman and AK-47.
